Give it away to a good home and start again.

PM me if you need a good home, I'll even pick it up for a small milage fee.

Well Doug, you could go riding and hope that something goes wrong.
Or you could get another bike and do it all over again. If you are not the sort of bloke who can love more than one, just sell the R100 for much less than you spent on it (after all, if it really is 'finished' it will have limited appeal).

A new 'unfinished' bike will put that spark and passion back into your life. It'll be like teenage love. Your first waking moments will be about the new bike and what you and she can do that day. Imagine facing the future, handlebar in hand, kicking the autumn leaves and gazing into her headlight with little sparkles flashing in your eyes. Your tools will be happy, your hands greasy again and your wallet empty, just like last time.

Hope this helps.

You are either a very brave or very reckless person Dougie, teasing fate the way you did. I would have expected you to have been smitten by the fate god already. Probably you already have and just don't know it yet. Something has already broken and you just haven't noticed it yet.
